reception problems

hi, I'm new to OTA. I was wondering if anyone could provide help, cause I can't seem to figure this out. My setup is a channel master 2016 antenna, 20 feet high, and 60 feet of R6 to the grounding block on the house. From there it goes another 40 feet to where it connects. When I connect it straight to a TV or digitial converter box, I don't have any issues with freezing or pixelation. My goal is to hook it up to my HDHOMERUN dual tuner. In order to do that I split the incoming cable, and then run it to the 2 inputs of the tuner. It degrades the signal to where channel 13 FOX(vhf) constantly freezes, and channel 7 freezes sometimes. I tried putting a motorola signal booster in place of the splitter, and also at the point where the cable enters the house. Same results. I've tried pointing the antenna in different directions with no luck. Again, I seem to get a good picture with nothing inbetween the cable and TV. I would think a simple signal booster would help make up for the minor splits but it doesn't. My tvfool report is below, any ideas? thanks.
